Closing bell hit and results are out. Big shortfall on both net revenues and earnings. No forecast, per Google's usual practice. Shares down about 5% in after-hours trades currently.

Google saw its shares top $900 for the first time ahead of its developer conference, Google I/O. The three-day conference kicked off Wednesday in San Francisco with a three-hour keynote address. MarketWatch tech reporter Benjamin Pimentel (@benpimentel) live-blogged the address. See a recap of the event after the jump.

The conference will feature sessions on its Android operating system for mobile phones, its Google+ social network, Google cloud platforms, Google Maps, YouTube, and Google Wallet, among others. Here's the full schedule of events.

MarketWatch tech reporter Benjamin Pimentel (@benpimentel) is at Google I/O and will be live blogging the keynote address here starting at 12 p.m. EST.

Still a little more than an hour before the event. Facebook shares are up about 1.5% in anticipation of what the company might unveil. Expected is a new "skin" for Android phones that make the social network more prominent.
